TOY GAR.

Application filed February 20, 1917.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that T, JULIUs CHEIN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at No. 175 S. Mountain avenue, Montclair, in the county of Essex, State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toy Cars, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in toy cars, and the object of my invention is to provide a novel and attractive toy.

I accomplish this object by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view of the blank forming the body of the car.

Fig. 2 is a view of the blank forming the fioor of the car, and

Fig. 3 is a view of the car assembled.

Similar characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

I construct my car of two blanks. The blank forming the body of the car as shown in Fig. 1, comprises two side sections 1 and 2 and an intermediate roof section 3. The outer marginal edge sections of the sides 1 and 2 are provided with counterpart cut out representations of journal boxes and springs 41, 5, 6 and 7 which are provided with apertures 8,- 9, 10 and 11 to receive the end sections of the axles 12 and 13 which carry the wheels 1 1 and 15 respectively. The marginal edge sections of the side sections 1 and 2 may also be provided with a plurality of ears 16, 16 which represent cross braces. The side sections 1 and 2 are bent downwardly on the lines a and Z) respectively, and the sections between the lines a and c and Z) and (Z respectively, are bent inwardly to form representations of overhanging eaves 17.

A longitudinal central section 18 between the lines 6 andf is preferably elevated above the eaves 17 to represent the running board on the roof of the car. The end sec tions 19, 20 21 and 22 are bent inwardly at right angles to the side sections 1 and 2 to form the front and rear ends of the car, and the marginal edge sections of the roof section 3 are bent downwardly and backwardly on the lines 9 and h respectively for Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. ll, 191% Serial No. 149,729.

the purpose of giving the proper finished appearance to the roof of the car. The body section being thus formed, is placed over the floor section 23, the marginal edge sections of which are bent downwardly on lines 2' and 70 at right angles to iit within the side sections 1 and 2 of the body, and lugs 2d, 24 on the body section are bent inwardly to engage the downwardly bent marginal edge sections 25 and 26 respectively of the floor section 23. For the purpose of giving additional strength to the floor section, marginal end sections 27 and 28 may be bent over against the underside of the fioor section 23. The floor section 23 is preferably longer than the body section, and projects beyond the ends thereof to form representations of platforms, and a tongue 29 and tongue engaging aperture 30 are preferably formed thereon for the purpose of attaching the toys together in trains if desired. The sides of the car when assembled, may be suitably decorated as desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

In a device of the character described, the combination of a body section formed of an integral blank having two counterpart side sections provided with representations of journal boxes and an intermediate section forming a representation of a roof, a representation of an elevated running board thereon, eaves formed intermediate the side sections and roof section by bending over a section of the material and a front and a rear end section formed by bending over the material of which the blank is formed in combination with a floor section adapted to rest within the bent over side sections of the body section and having bent over marginal edge sections and a tongue and tongue engaging aperture thereon substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof, JULIUS CHEIN has signed his name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 31st day of January 1917.
